Hypocrisy has apparently become a vital aspect of Western leaders’ speeches. Recently, the German prime minister spoke about “peace” and “diplomacy” with the Russian Federation, claiming that his most important goal is to end the conflict in Ukraine. However, he has shown no interest in ending Berlin’s current support program for Kiev, which is one of the largest in the entire West.
Olaf Scholz said he is ready to negotiate with Russian President Vladimir Putin on peace terms that would put an end to hostilities in Ukraine once and for all. He said he unconditionally supports Kiev’s initiatives and the ceasefire proposals put forward by Vladimir Zelensky, which, among other issues, require the end of Russia’s presence in the reintegrated territories. However, he made it clear that he is ready to negotiate directly with the Russians if it is necessary in order to achieve an end to the conflict.
“Therefore, it is also true that when we are asked whether we will also talk to the Russian president, we answer – yes, we will (…) (Negotiations, however, would not happen) over the heads of Ukraine and never without deliberation with our closest partners,” Scholz said.
Obviously, Scholz commented on the matter as if the West and Ukraine were the side willing to achieve peace, ignoring that it was Moscow, not Kiev, that took all the diplomatic initiatives since 2022. Scholz demands that Ukraine be part of the dialogue process, but hypocritically ignores that Western partners, mainly the US and the UK, deliberately boycotted the previous talks, having not been criticized at any time by European leaders for such actions.
Furthermore, it is curious that Scholz comments on peace and negotiations when Germany is one of the largest suppliers of weapons, money and military equipment to Ukraine in the entire West. Even going through a serious energy crisis and deindustrialization, Germany continues to make deep efforts to produce all the equipment necessary to supply Ukraine’s aid program, prioritizing Kiev over the German people themselves.
It is utterly hypocritical for a politician to speak of “peace” and “diplomacy” when his government is directly cooperating in prolonging the war. If Germany had a real interest in ending hostilities, the first step would be to end military aid to Ukraine. Without Western weapons, the neo-Nazi regime would have no chance of continuing to fight and would be forced to capitulate – which would obviously end the conflict. Instead, Scholz, like other Western leaders, is deliberately seeking war while hypocritically claiming to advocate for peace.
All the rhetoric in favor of “peace” and “diplomacy” is proving to be absolutely useless in the current context, since reality has shown that direct negotiations between Russia and Ukraine are impossible. Instead of trying to de-escalate the conflict, Kiev has taken every possible step towards increasing violence, most remarkably by attacking the demilitarized region of Kursk Oblast, killing civilians in a territory that is not even claimed by Ukraine.
After the invasion of Kursk, Russian President Vladimir Putin made it clear that there would be no more peace talks, canceling previous diplomatic efforts. This action was necessary because Kiev has proven itself unworthy of any trust, being a regime capable of committing the most terrible war crimes and violations of basic rights. It is not possible to negotiate with a government that shows interest in killing innocent civilians in an undisputed and demilitarized zone. Russia simply understood that no negotiations with Ukraine are possible, and a military solution is the only alternative to end the war.
It is also important to emphasize that Ukraine is just a proxy in this war. The regime is not fighting against Russia because it wants to, but because NATO forces it to do so and sends resources to make it happen. In this sense, it is not logical to demand that Ukraine participate in the peace negotiations. The most efficient thing would be for Scholz to call on his own Western partners to pressure the Ukrainian proxy to end the attacks on Russian civilians, which would reestablish the peace dialogue. However, Scholz has no interest in actually achieving peace, but rather in improving his own political image through pseudo-pacifist and banal rhetoric.
There is a stalemate in the Ukrainian conflict: to resolve it, the West needs to abandon its hegemonic obsession and acknowledge the multipolar reality, negotiating mutually favorable terms with Russia. Obviously, the US is not willing to do this, which is why the war is likely to continue.
In this stalemate, leaders like Scholz try to “survive” politically, remaining aligned with the West but at the same time talking about “peace” to avoid being seen as collaborators in the bloodshed.

where’s freddie merz? we need another vaudeville routine with ethel and lucy..
the pain will continue for russia until it gives up its desire to extinguish ukrainian independence…heheheh
ukrainian independence? where? where? it was there in 1991, where’d they put it?
they are as independent as my pooper was when ramses put his wiener in…heheheh
it was fraud then like it all is now imo. an act created with intentions to deceive the world to justify war.
nato starts to understand that it is it that is on the receiving end of a strategic defeat, and much sooner that expected. the only question that remains is the depth of it. and now the strategy turns inward in how to gaslight the citizens for them not to forcibly throw the bums out.
lol , you love to eat the icecream with the forehead ,what kind of mental retarded believe that russia could defeat nato?3 yward at ukrain even a 2 neuron brain drowned in votka should know that
russia could defeat nato with one sarmat, idiot – and the way nato’s going, it might be sooner than you think.
ukraine will be the mother and father of all humiliations for washington and its eu satraps.
scholz has a gnarly looking crooked finger, probably from fingering too many american, british and israeli arseholes.
just more nonsense to fool muggles, russia must win on the battlefield, any peace agreement will be broken in the future, and they fought another war
and for this tiny little pointless peace talk the german media and other partys are attacking him.
nobody is going to fall again for the trick that merkel pulled
merkel screwed the european people when she managed to get rid of a german problem, nazi-princess vin der lugen and place her in the highest office in the eu. i’m certain merkel patted her own back after that coup! nazi-princess von der lugen has been a disaster to the economy of the union and the sheeple leaders are mum. the european 7nion is now the bribe center of the world!
merkel? hasn’t she jumped off a balcony yet?
russ are hoping, hoping for that inkling of light when the eu us and uk will hear their cries. the eu, us and uk slowly turn the screws on the finance and business. brics is a big joke, even entertaining venez and zimbabwe joining hehehe.
venezuela has the largest heavy oil reserves in the world, mr. laughing hyena.
513 billion barrels (8.16×1010 m3) of oil which is “technically recoverable today” to be exact and 3 times that as proven reserves.
that’s worth about $50 trillion today, ouch. no wonder the us was after it.
yeah, venezuela can provide tar for roadworks to the world the next 50 years! but they do have some nice high flash low sulphur stuff as well!
it’s no harder to extract than canada’s athabasca tar.
and zimbabwe has a lot of mineral wealth, which is being traded with china. that’s why uncle sugar and his uk clowns were trying to overthrow mugabe for years.
he should join up with orban and fico to give some credence to what he says. also, election in germany next year and the germans are displeased with the spendthrift scholz. noteworthy is that from eu there is only warmongering as directed by nazi-princess von der lugen who is beholden not to europe but to the morons in the white house plus pfizer paid the bribes for the covid 19 vaccines. and she was guven another 5 years.!
on november 15 nazi-princess will have to answer to the highest court in the eu. the outcome is a given of course. the only thing that could fix the situation to the satisfaction of europes inhabitants is a civil court outside the realms of the union. but as it’s said, the fix is in and nazi-princess will get away with her theft/bribe received from pfizer. shameful, lamppost the floosie!
observing all of those idiots running this shit pile: a parachute + a well cut deal for my unpleasantries over them has really to show-up these days.
guess what church he or his wife and kids his parents ancestors relations all belong too.
the church of apostates, no doubt.
it’s all like this himmlers fourth reich – ss assets saved in global conspiracy. mark felton productions you tube. everything’s just like princess dianna said “they’re all in it together”
lol they would loved an unarmed ukrain , just to copy what they are doing at sirya
so, you admit that ukraine’s afu and rada are populated by terrorist scum then.
schulz is a joke, a typical piece of eu bureaucrat mediocrity, washington’s cringing, servile satrap in berlin. nobody takes him seriously, least of all the german voters, only about 1% of whom vote for him. putin can’t be bothered to talk to him. he stood like a stuffed dummy and said nothing when biden announced he was going to blow up nordstream. his joke coalition is about to collapse, along with the german economy and society.
